Artist's Description

This image was inspired by a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. The verse from The Raven_ describing this scene is:Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream beforeBut the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!’This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!’Merely this and nothing more.

“The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe was published on January 29, 1845The Raven is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow descent into madness. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word “Nevermore”. (Wikipedia)
